Overview

This LED replacement bulb works in many vehicles including antique, vintage, and classic cars as well as trucks and military vehicles, such as Land Rovers and Humvees. The 1156 single-contact bulb has 19 top-mounted LEDs and is perfect for footwell lights, dome lights, trunk lights, and hood lights. BA15S 15-mm bayonet base for easy plug-and-play installation—just twist to lock in place. The energy-efficient bulb has 6 VDC operation and is designed to last 10,000 hours on your car, truck, or military vehicle—8 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Available in cool white, amber and red. Not sold in pairs. Price per bulb. Also available in a 24V white version.

For best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color. If bulb is behind a clear lens, use the appropriate color for turn and brake light functions. Please See More LED Car Bulb Notes

Warranties & Certifications

Super Bright LEDs, Inc. offers a 3-year warranty to protect against manufacturer defects and malfunctions. If you experience failure of an LED or other component not caused by negligence, abuse, unauthorized repair or disassembly, we will replace the product within the warranty period. If the same product is no longer available, a product of equal value may be substituted. Read More

CAN Bus LED bulbs are simple plug-and- play LED bulbs which are made specifically for CAN Bus-equipped vehicles. These bulbs work with your vehicle's advanced computer system, so when your vehicle's computer reads them, they respond back correctly.
To see if your vehicle operates with a CAN Bus system, simply remove the bulb you're looking to replace, start your vehicle, and if you have a "Bulb Out" message on your dash you have a CAN Bus system.

For best results, the LED color should be the same as the lens color. If the bulb is behind a clear lens, use the appropriate color for turn and brake light functions.

When installed in a housing that has a matching colored lens, red and amber bulbs will appear brighter than white LED bulbs - even though they have lower lumen outputs.

As an example: a red lens will filter out all but the red portion of light from a bulb, so if the light being emitted from the bulb is all red, none or very little light will be blocked by the lens.
The light from a white LED bulb contains very little light in the red portion of the visible spectrum, so most of the light that contributes to its higher lumen value would be filtered out by a red lens.
This makes the white bulb appear dimmer than the red bulb.

Current Draw @ Operating Voltage

Current Draw @ Operating Voltage

Current Draw is used to size fuses and wire for a circuit. Current draw is the amount of energy consumed by an LED or LEDs in an electrical circuit at a specific voltage, measured in amps (A) or milliamps (mA).

Comparing Lumens Across Colors: Why Do Colored Bulbs Have Such Low Lumen Values

Lumen meters are a great way to measure white light output but can be deceptive for colored bulb intensity. Lumens measure light wavelengths in all colors of the visible spectrum. Because multiple wavelengths create white light and colored bulbs are a single-wavelength source, colored bulbs will have lower lumen readings. However, they will appear equally as bright as a white bulb.

Antique Car Brakelight

Been using this bulb in a 1931 Ford A 6volt positive ground system for about 2 years; works great. Only thing I wish for is greater brightness!!
Doesn't work well as a running taillight though as it does not show thru the license plate lens well.

works!

In my 1948 Citroen turn signals, this focused directional light can now be seen in the daytime by drivers following and in front - my 15 watt incandescents just didn't get the attention of other drivers in the daytime. Another benefit is with the old fashioned controller, my incandescents just sort of pulsated in brightness, didn't really turn off completely - with the LED's they actually go off and then back on (that is with only one LED in circuit or, as I now have it, both bulbs LED's with a 3 ohm load resistor in the circuit for each side. People expect turn signals to go off and on, not just pulsate, so this is a big improvement. As always, I wish they were even brighter, but the currentl level is much better. Also they are very little larger than the 25 watt incandescents so fit in my lens with no problem.

Amazing Blinker Replacement (Old Bike)

These LEDs are VERY bright and efficient and work amazing as blinker replacements. I tried to use them on my 1979 DT400, but I couldn't fit a load resistor into the electrical compartment. I would recommend using this on any bike if you can manage to find a way to add a load resistor onto your bike.

Major Improvement

Replaced original turn signal bulbs (front and rear) in my 1963 6 volt VW Bug. First application with replacement of both front and rear bulbs was unsuccessful. There was insufficient resistance to make the bulbs/flasher work. Tried to place resistors in system to provide necessary resistance, but that did not work. Tried to use one of the original bulbs in front and one LED bulb in rear. Original bulb provides sufficient resistance and both front and rear turn signal bulbs work. Plus they are brighter.
